STI stands for Subaru Tecnica International, the Subaru performance division. The 2020 Subaru WRX STI that bears its name is the most powerful, most performance-oriented of all the Subaru models. Derived from its closely related race car siblings competing in the World Rally Championship, the 2020 Subaru WRX STI has motorsport in its veins. Built to handle the muddy, bumpy and unpaved terrain with which rally racers must contend, the Subaru WRX STI is unlike any other sports car on the road. It's built for speed, but also for handling confidence, powerful braking and exquisite balance. The resulting vehicle is more than just fast -- it's a precision tool for carving up back roads, setting new hot lap times and making the hairs on your neck stand on end.
To learn more about the latest edition of a performance legend, check out the information we've gathered below. We'll tell you all about the 2020 Subaru WRX STI, what makes it so revered among rally enthusiasts and how it differs from the standard 2020 Subaru WRX.
2020 Subaru WRX STI Standard Features
The 2020 Subaru WRX STI begins with all the same features and equipment as the base WRX model, plus some important upgrades. Every WRX enjoys performance-design front seats with aggressive bolsters and red accent stitching. You'll also appreciate a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, dual USB charging ports and more. Beyond these basics, the 2020 Subaru WRX STI also adds dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless entry with PIN code access, heated front seats and -- the pièce de résistance that has defined the STI for decades -- an oversized "whale-tail" rear spoiler. Even before you hit the gas, the 2020 Subaru WRX STI offers intimidating looks and exciting features.
2020 Subaru WRX STI Technology
Compared to the entry-level Subaru WRX, the 2020 Subaru WRX STI comes standard with a larger touchscreen and voice-activated controls, so your hands never need to leave the steering wheel. For even greater convenience, you can add built-in navigation as an available option. Or, take advantage of the standard Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ technologies and get navigation, audio streaming and hands-free communication all from your compatible smartphone! You can even upgrade to a 9-speaker high-fidelity audio system by Harman Kardon. Even when you can't open up the throttle, the 2020 Subaru WRX makes sure every drive is enjoyable.
2020 Subaru WRX STI Safety
In the event of an accident, the 2020 Subaru WRX STI is better equipped to protect occupants than virtually any performance car on the market! The 2019 Subaru WRX STI earned the 2019 Top Safety Pick+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety -- one of the most exclusive safety accolades in our industry. The 2020 Subaru WRX STI is structurally the same, and should once again provide class-leading protection.
Because it's only available with a manual transmission, the 2020 Subaru WRX STI does not offer Subaru EyeSight® driver assistance. However, the 2020 Subaru WRX Premium, 2020 Subaru WRX Limited and 2020 Subaru Legacy XT models offer aggressive, turbocharged performance as well as the added peace of mind that comes with features like automatic pre-collision braking and adaptive cruise control.
2020 Subaru WRX STI Power & Performance
Compared to the entry-level WRX, the 2020 Subaru WRX STI provides a bigger engine that delivers superior horsepower and acceleration. A 2.5L turbocharged BOXER® engine cranks out 310 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque. All that power plus the consistent, smooth power delivery of Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive means that a Subaru WRX can charge ahead from 0-60 MPH in just 5.3 seconds according to tests performed by Car and Driver magazine.
Subaru SI-DRIVE technology and a Driver-Controlled Center Differential put even more control at your fingertips. You'll be able to select driving modes for more efficiency or more aggressive performance as well as fine-tune the torque distribution between the front and rear axles. Subaru gives driving enthusiasts the tools they need to maximize their performance and minimize their lap times.
Also standard on the 2020 Subaru WRX STI are yellow-painted Brembo® performance brakes for more confident stopping power. A STI-tuned high-performance suspension means that road imperfections won't slow you down and every wheel is biting into the pavement. And since the unique BOXER® engine design positions the weight of the vehicle lower than its front-engined rivals, the 2020 Subaru WRX STI offers handling response and balance that lesser vehicles simply can't match. Pulse-pounding performance continues to set the WRX STI apart from the pack.
